Disc: The disc hub has optional 6-bolt or center lock version.The matched disc rim does not have a brake track and features a unique disc specific layup process. Our new layup is about 10g ~30g lighter by reducing the unnecessary material and utilizing elements of our Flyweight construction method.

Non Disc(Rim brake): By default, the rim brake 700C road rims come with an advanced High TG surface whose braking power and reliability is significantly improved over a basalt braking surface.

Our newest Grooved Graphene Surface is ready now. The price is $30 added for each rim. If you would like to update with newest brake tracks, please contact us at sales@lightbicycle.com.

Ratchet This is a required option.

DT Swiss hubs use star ratchets and are available in 3 different models with varying points of engagement.

18T - Deepest teeth, slowest engagement, least amount of maintenance, suitable for powerful riders.

36T - Happy medium, doubles the engagement points.

54T - Super fast engagement, but shallow teeth require more careful re-greasing and the thru-axle should be checked every ride.

EXP 36 - With only a single spring, making the hubs faster and lighter, more complete engagement of the 36 ratchet teeth for more precise contact, and therefore a longer lifespan.

EXP 54 - Upgraded from EXP 36 to gain incredibly faster engagement.

Sapim D-Light – The best all-around and most popular spoke for carbon wheels. Lightweight but incredibly strong.
Sapim Race – Our strongest and stiffest spoke. These spokes are suitable for heavy or extremely aggressive riders who need a stiffer wheel.
Sapim CX-Ray – The lightest spoke in our lineup is still quite strong due to the elasticity and amazing fatigue life.
DT Competition Race - All Mountain and XC spoke used by the Chinese location as a substitue for the D-Light (depending on availability)
Pillar PSR X-TRA 1420 - An inexpensive bladed spoke, great for road and cyclocross riding.
Pillar Wing 20 - Pillar patented highest level of aerodynamic bladed spoke reducing potential weak spots and twisting during tensioning. Currently, they are offered in oil slick color only with increased wear and corrosion resistance.
Sapim CX Sprint-Rear drive side/ CX Ray-Other sides - This customized combo increases the rear drive side power transmition efficiency significantly while grabs superior light-weight and aero performance.
Oil slick J-bend - They are made by a qualified manufacturer in Taiwan with custom design by Light Bicycle. They are J-bend only so do not order these spokes for SP hubs you configured in the previous step.

Brake System This is a required option.

Non Disc - High TG Surface: Rim Brake 700C road rims use an advanced High TG resin system with a layer of graphene to help dissipate heat. The braking power and reliability is significantly improved over a basalt braking surface.

Non Disc - Grooved Graphene Surface: Our new resin system and construction method, combined with the 3k rim track, withstands over 280°C, dissipates heat, and lowers rim temperatures faster in between braking efforts. Gain confidence-inspiring brake performance on the steepest descents and wettest conditions with our matching brake pads. Also, graphene added to the rim brake track allows for greater resistance to overheating with improved heat dissipation and reduced temperature accumulation during heavy braking. The grooved track helps evacuate trapped moisture between pad and rim in wet conditions, and brings more resistance and force at the lever when conditions are dry.

Full Custom: This option (if provided here to choose) offers custom braking track in other various weaves (UD/12K/3K twill etc) with 1-2 weeks LONGER on manufacture and extra $10USD/rim only as a start (with High TG Surface by default). If you select this option and LEAVE YOUR TAILORED REQUIREMENT IN THE NOTES AT CHECKOUT, we will reach out to you once the order is placed.

Drain Hole This is a required option.

The two small drain holes located 90° to the valve hole help evacuate the water trapped inside the rim, using the centrifugal force of rolling wheels.

It is the small reinforced patch prelaminated on the area where the drain hole is drilled later that makes the rim strength fairly ensured without any compromise of weight rise.

Riders who ride in wet areas are suggested to order rims with drain holes.
More info about holes >>

No Drain Holes

Decal This is a required option.

Road rims use super light waterslide decals (matte colors). The decal is very thin and applied under a clearcoat so they are non-removeable.

On mountain bike rims, one layer of 18mm width tape is strong enough to seal the access holes which makes for the lightest tubeless setup.

Hi I wonder how come the R55 rim is heavier than AR56 which being wider and higher ? Furthermore do you know if 30mm wide rim is compatible with R8000 shimano dual pivot caliper ?

LightBicycle 2019/10/28

Hi Julien, 1. R55 (25mm wide, 55mm deep) 25mm wide road 700C rim is with a rounder rim profile compare to AR56 (30mm wide, 56mm deep), which is with larger rim wall surface. Given the different rim shape design and intended use, our engineer specific design the layup process for every rim modle. For U shape is wider at the rim middle area and rim bottom area, AR56 30mm wide rims are wider on the top/but sharp at the bottom. U shape rims cause heavier due to wider at the bottom area. 2. According to SHIMANO's official Manual for Dual Piviot Caliper Brake, the BR-R8000 is compatible with 24~28mm width carbon rims. So our AR56 would be too wide for the caliper, however, you can use the R55 without worries. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hi I'm from UK. Looking for disc wheelset. 45 or 55 rim profile. Red spokes. 6 disc bolt hole. Stu.

LightBicycle 2019/05/22

Hi Stu, Yes, mix depth of road disc wheelset is popular. It is okay to order front 45mm deep/rear 55mm deep. Do you like DT Swiss 240S road disc hubs or 350 road disc hubs? Thanks, Lightbicycle

Hello, For WRU55C02, the rim profile drawing shows outer width as 25mm at the brake track, however it looks like the middle section of the rim is wider. How wide is the rim at its widest section?

LightBicycle 2019/04/04

Hi Todd, You are very observed the widest area of the RRU55C02 road clincher rim is about 28.02mm. Are you interested in purchasing a full wheelset? What kind of configuration you have in mind? Disc or non disc? Thanks, Lightbicycle

Mike 2019/03/11

Hello, I am located in Canada and I'm interested in purchasing your wheels, specifically WRU55C02. I notice that this isn't available in your Canadian warehouse. I'd also would like Novatec hubs (not disc) to keep the cost down. Can these be shipped from your Canadian warehouse? If not, do you have comparable cost wheels around 50mm deep that ship from North America? Thanks.

LightBicycle 2019/03/12

Hi Mike, Novatec hubs are only availble in Global warehouse. The North America warehouse don't have a wheelset configuration that close to the cost in Globa. What is your main concern for Global shipping? The price is already very friendly with Novatec or Bitex hubs. We can also lower the decalred value on the customs clearance documents so you can pay less tax. If it's about lead time, most road rims are ordered to make (non-stock). So if you want the wheels shipped from Canada, it will have to be made and built in China, then ship to Canada warehouse, and ship to you. Won't shorten the lead time. And the cost won't be lower. The shipping cost is USD78 from China to Canada. Thanks, Lightbicycle

Matt 2018/11/09

Hi. Can you offer these rims in asymmetric? Thanks.

LightBicycle 2018/11/12

Hi Matt, Sorry to tell you that we don't have the RRU55C02 in asymmetric version. The only asymmetrical road rim we have currently is RG922 (29mm wide, 28mm deep). Will you be interested in this? The 55mm deep rim is very popular for its aerodynamic profile. Could you care to share the reason why you need an asymmetrical version for a rim as deep? Thanks, Lightbicycle

Kevin 2018/07/11

Do the Wheel sets come with skewers?

LightBicycle 2018/07/12

Hi Kevin, If you order wheelset with Novatec hubs, they come with quick release skewers. If you order wheelset with other hubs like DT Swiss, the quick release skewers are not included. You will have to buy them seperately. Which hubs do you like for this road clincher 700C wheelset? Thanks, Lightbicycle
